Question about Tudor 75090

I bought a Tudor 75090 from a user here a few months ago and I've always been just a tad bit concerned about the originality of the watch. I suspect the bezel insert, and bracelet aren't original to the piece, but are authentic to the watch, but I've been reading that it should have a bi-directional bezel (turn both ways) and mine is uni-directional (only turns in one direction)

It makes sense that a diver watch would only turn one way, but some of the reading I've done suggests the 75090 should turn both.

Can anybody shine some light on this?

You need photos.

Does it click? Are you pressing down when you turn?

Did we mention you need photos?

The bezel on my Tudor Submariner is bidirectional. It doesn’t click when rotated.
Like everyone is asking, you need to post some pictures so we can see.

I’m loving mine. It was a recent addition that I seem to wear more than everything else in my collection.

The Tudor 75090 has a uni-directional bezel and it's 120 clicks. I've had mine since I purchased it new in 1995 and it's always been that way.

This is the one I bought. You can already see above in the replies there is some confusion about it. Some saying it's bi-directional and some saying it isn't. Mine clicks.

mine turns both ways and does not click.

having said that I have nagging feeling that it used to......recently the bezel would not turn and so the watch had to go for a repair. Its now free, but does not click.
